Etymology

Proces entered Romanian from French procès, itself from Latin processus, the noun form of procedere, meaning to go forward or advance. The Latin verb is built from pro- (forward) and cedere (to go, yield). Over time the word narrowed in legal contexts to mean a lawsuit or trial, while keeping its broader sense of a sequence of steps or developments.
